Commercial Description:
A Beer Cloaked in Secrecy An ale whose mysterious and unusual palate will swirl across your tongue and ask more questions than it answers. A beer brewed clandestinely and given a name whose meaning is never revealed. Why #9? Why, indeed. A sort of dry, crisp, fruity, refreshing, not-quite pale ale. #9 is really impossible to describe because there’s never been anything else quite like it. Fermented with our 150 year old strain of top-fermenting English yeast.

Sampled on tap at RFD Washington. It pours to a fully lasting medium thickness white head with excellent lacing. The body is a golden color. The aroma is very hoppy and perfumey. Very good aroma. Very strong aroma. The flavor is herbal, floral, and perfumey hops. Rich caramel malts. I’ve tasted nothing like this before. VERY delicious. The palate has a medium mouthfeel that’s very rich and creamy. Sweet and delicious, glad I tried it.

I can’t believe I haven’t rated this yet. I’ve had it many many times but recently on tap at Recreational Billiards in Winston Salem. it was so delicious I had 2 pints of it and convinced my non-beer drinking friend ( a girl) to try it and she loved it too. first lets just say APRICOT, WELL-BALANCED LIGHT HOPS AND REFRESHING. that about sums up what is so great about this beer. a beautiful amber tangerine hue with a minimal white head. smells of light citrus hops, grass, apricot. tastes of light well balanced hops and apricot with slight bitterness, pine and grass and orange peel. mouthfeel is light and round. finish is clean and slightly sweet. refreshing. I love this beer.

Great beer that always seems unique; strange brew, with a mixed variety of flavors from hops to fruit that all seem to work well together. Pretty smooth with a light to medium body that goes down easy. I’ve been drinking #9 for years and always find the overall flavor different and enjoyable.

very refreshing, slightly fruity but not over the top. Easily drinkable and good for any time of the year. This beer will go over well with almost any type of beer drinker

Bottle at Jerry’s. Straw gold with good, foamy white head / Funky, herbaceous nose / Light to medium body, creamy and fat, malty with some residual sweetness, and with good finish / Flavors of honey, orange, and lemon, with herbal notes of dried sage / Quirky but successful.

Got the 12 pack of the testers. This stood out the most of them due to the highly unexpected flavor in here. I mostly tasted the apricot possibly peach most of all. Very nice in mouth feel, it’s thin crisp and refreshing. I’m starting to really like this type of fruit beers. Nice sweet aroma.

Bottle, Poured a rich golden color with a thin frothy head. The aroma was that of Wheat, Malts and Fruity (Apricot I think). The mouthfeel was excellent. It had great body and with a complexity of flavors. Great brew and worth a try!!
